Well the tank I was going to set up has a leak and it's not worth it to fix it.
Soo.... I'm going to be doing a 40 breeder instead and I would love to see what other people have done with them.
 
Mine is in the works. Just a bunch of Macroalgae and a few corals. I just added 3 Bubble tip anemones I haven't taken pics of yet. Just started this tank in May.

First shot when it was set up, second one was last night with just the actinics.

Love the dimensions of this tank.
 
Thanks. I took it out and put it in my new 120g setup. The tips were 1" out of the water on wc. Growing against the glass on the left and into the green cap on the right. It was time.
 
Very cool. Yes Rev these tanks are way cool.
Ghill is that a gl*******s overflow?

yep the 700gph kit.. powered by a dialed back mag 7 return... thinking about swapping it for a mag5.. mag 7 is a bit much, and it's really noisy.. the glass holes kit is pretty quiet I feel confident I can make it silent, but the pump is louder than the overflow anyway.. and silence is important when you sleep 3 feet from your tank..
 
I love 40b's, I have had mine about a year and a half

First day in 40

Just wanted to point out two things not trying to be negative but...
1. That candle on a stand right beside your tank...Thats not a good idea in fact it isn't even a good idea to burn them in the same room or use any other fragrance emitting elements in the rooms with tanks.
2. Also I think it is time for your MP10 to get a cleaning you aren't getting anywhere near what you should out of it looking like that and they twist apart nicely for easy cleaning (I use toothbrush twice a month).

If you had a crash in this tank I would expect it was due to that candle though but in this picture everything looks happy even that really nice colored red goni! Was this a new sand bed or is this your original sand bed that you cycled with?
 
^ I also see that you have a hang on the back overflow box I would like to not only see an updated picture of this tank but see what your working with in the sump as well...Just curious :tongue:
